Robin Hood might squeeze in on a technicality. If his defense team is good, they'll argue that it was the King who was stealing, all Robin Hood was doing was returning money to peasants. That was before the Divine Right of Kings become popular, I think, so he doesn't have to worry about that. John also had his problems with the Vatican and was excommunicated for awhile, so Robin Hood might be able to play up that angle. The Catholic church was a complete rip-off at that time, more than any simple thief, so hopefully god was too busy with sending priests to hell to worry about a friendly bandit.
